+# FindGLM - attempts to locate the glm matrix/vector library.
+#
+# This module defines the following variables (on success):
+#   GLM_INCLUDE_DIRS  - where to find glm/glm.hpp
+#   GLM_FOUND         - if the library was successfully located
+#
+# It is trying a few standard installation locations, but can be customized
+# with the following variables:
+#   GLM_ROOT_DIR      - root directory of a glm installation
+#                       Headers are expected to be found in either:
+#                       <GLM_ROOT_DIR>/glm/glm.hpp           OR
+#                       <GLM_ROOT_DIR>/include/glm/glm.hpp
+#                       This variable can either be a cmake or environment
+#                       variable. Note however that changing the value
+#                       of the environment varible will NOT result in
+#                       re-running the header search and therefore NOT
+#                       adjust the variables set by this module.
